The video below is of Evan and I cutting the cake at our baby shower to find out the gender of our babies. So glad we have this on video, it was such an amazing experience!
Enjoy!
(I had written this post a couple of months ago - and true to it's title, my "mom brain" forgot to edit and post it. So now you get it a couple months delayed) My best friend flew into town this past weekend to spend some time alone with me a few weeks before my wedding. We had planned to run a 5k, stay in a hotel one night so I could try to get out of the mom-zone-frame-of-mind, eat good food, drink good drinks and maybe smoke some shisha. She got into town on a Friday. That night, we packed up and headed to the hotel. When checking in, the woman looked up my name, she gave this head tilt and said, "hmm, you're not in our system." I said "Yes we are, look I have my confirmation here." she says, "oh yes maam, that confirmation is for tomorrow night." I said "No, for tonight." she says "Look, right here, it says for tomorrow night." Feeling like a first class idiot, I say "My mistake, do you have anythi...
This is my first full week of not being a student, not being an intern, not being an employee,but rather taking care of myself and being a stay at home pregnant woman. I have cleaned the apartment about 25 times (and it still doesn't feel clean enough). I go for walks, groom the cats, grocery shop, cook, read books, stretch, volunteer with the twins group we belong to, and meet friends for coffee dates. Part of me is loving the free time, and part of me is going crazy. Being busy with one, if not two jobs, plus going to school is manageable and for me and is what I know how to do. This "relaxation" as they call it, is new territory for me, I'm almost afraid to enjoy it, and I'm sure Evan is dreading the day I say "Babe, I'm not sure I want to go back to work, maybe I should stay home with the kids." Don't worry, it's not in my blood to not be working :) One of the things I am enjoying the most is reading a book called Trauma Stewardsh...
It's crunch time. The wedding is 6 weeks away, and I need to lose 20 lbs to get to my "pre baby weight". hahahahaha. Kidding. Well not really, but I lost the dream of "pre baby body" a long time ago, so now I just try to work out to feel better and relieve stress. I have started replacing 1 meal a day (it's supposed to be 2, but that's too hard) with a smoothie of my own invention. Today it was 1.5 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk, half an apple, two handfulls of spinach and a tablespoon of rolled oats. yesterday it was similar, sub kale and a banana and probably a reeses cup or something. I hate dieting, but I learned in high school that the best way to lose weight in a hurry is to go on a liquid diet. My best friend and I did the "soup" diet for weeks before prom. We looked amazing, but no one liked us because our bitch factor rose with exponential fury when we were hungry. Anyway, I want my kids to be happ...
